Liquid Logic

When arguing with a partner, and to get them to see reason, you bust a nut in any sensory organ causing them to change their stance on the situation.

My girlfriend wouldn't let me hang out with the boys until I gave her some liquid logic.

Liquid Logic

An even more fluid form of reasoning—logic that doesn't just adapt but completely reshapes itself to fit the container it's poured into. Liquid logic has no fixed form; it takes the shape of whatever problem it's addressing, assuming the characteristics needed for the moment. In one context, it's rigorous and formal; in another, it's intuitive and associative; in another, it's paradoxical and playful. Liquid logic is the logic of the trickster, the artist, the genius who sees connections that formal systems miss. It's also the logic of the manipulator, the demagogue, the person who shapes their reasoning to fit whatever conclusion they want—which is why liquid logic requires wisdom to wield well.

Example: "The CEO used liquid logic in the board meeting, shaping his arguments to fit whatever his audience needed to hear. To the finance team, he spoke in numbers. To the creative team, he spoke in vision. To the skeptics, he spoke in risk assessments. His logic flowed into every container, convincing everyone. Later, they realized they'd been convinced of contradictory things. Liquid logic had worked perfectly—for him."

Liquid System Logic

A more extreme form of fluid logic, where the system doesn't just change—it completely reshapes itself, taking the form of whatever container it's in. Liquid system logic has no fixed shape; it pours into whatever conceptual space it occupies, assuming the characteristics needed for the moment. This is the logic of the trickster, the artist, the person who can think in any mode required. Liquid system logic is incredibly adaptive and incredibly dangerous—it can justify anything because it can take any shape. It requires wisdom to wield, because without wisdom, liquid logic becomes mere manipulation.

Example: "The politician used liquid system logic in every debate, adapting his reasoning to whatever audience he faced. With economists, he sounded like an economist. With workers, he sounded like a worker. With idealists, he sounded idealistic. His logic poured into every container, convincing everyone. Later, they realized he'd promised contradictory things to different groups. Liquid logic had worked perfectly—for him."
